1 | Mitch, How is this promise for you (all) | Ex 23:25 | EdB | 146690 | ||
Lissa "Wasn't the Promised Land a foreshadow of the rest that we receive through Christ through faith?" Yes the Promised Land was a foreshadow of the rest in Christ. Just as the Sabbath rest was a foreshadow of the rest in Christ. So because it was a foreshadow, the promise is for believers today. However the actual land was not the foreshadow but rather the rest therefore the land belongs to who it was first given and that is Israel. I hope that answers your question. EdB |

3 | EdB, Is promise here for believers today | Ex 23:25 | EdB | 146704 | ||
I'm saying the what the promise foreshadowed is for believers today. The promise was for two things; one land a literal promise given to Israel. The other object of the promise was "rest". This rest was actually a foreshadow of the rest Jesus would give each believer. So in that sense the promise of rest which was a foreshadow of the rest in Christ is for believers today. No where here or in my original response do I say the land known as the country of Israel was promised to the church, if that is what your asking. EdB |

4 | EdB, Is promise here for believers today | Ex 23:25 | kalos | 146705 | ||
EdB: No criticism here. Just a need for clarification. How did the subject of "rest" come up in this discussion? The word "rest" does not appear at all in Exodus 23:25. How is rest the object of the promise when Ex 23:25 does not include the word rest? I'm not saying you are wrong. I just don't understand the connection. Thanks for your help. Grace to you, Kalos |

Kalos If you read Lissamz's first post on this thread she shows the connection is made through Hebrews 4:1-3. Which refers the children of Israel not being allowed to enter the promises land but had to continue in the wilderness for 40 years, only in Hebrews it uses the word rest. Thus we see the promise of Exodus is also is a foreshadow of the rest of Christ. EdB |
